<function>php_stream_opendir</function> returns a stream that can be used to list the
files that are contained in the directory specified by <parameter>path</parameter>.
This function is functionally equivalent to POSIX <function>opendir</function>.
Although this function returns a php_stream object, it is not recommended to
try to use the functions from the common API on these streams.
